BIG Movie Challenge

Some Challenges

To the “Ambassadors of Holiness”, and other people thinking about their calling and vocation in Christ.

“Make no mistake, the adventure you now commence will demand the best of you. The world will not always be kind to you. It will not always welcome you. It will not always treat you with respect. You may not always have a soft pillow, or a full stomach, or a healthy body and mind. No, the mission before you will not be easy. But that’s not what you signed up for with you signed on with Jesus Christ, is it? An easy life is not worthy of your gifts. An easy life is not worthy of your energy, your intellect, you life, your death.” – “Countdown to Sunday – A Daily Guide for Those Who Dare To Preach” – Chris Erdman (p.182)

To anyone who has not yet been challenged to think about trade justice, and/or anyone who hasn’t heard Danielle Strickland be Fair-Trade’s greatest advocate.

Fair Trade Rant - “Go on, Liberate Your Latte!”

And while you’re liberating you’re latte, buy some buttons!! Get in touch with me if you want some!

Double Impact & The Machine

DOUBLE IMPACT was a Tri-Territorial Salvation Army Youth Congress in January 2004.

It was famous for a few things..

- Captain Danielle Strickland got a tattoo while on stage, as a sermon illustration!
- Danielle, and her partner in fun, Capt. Stephen Court preached about Spiritual Masturbation, using a condom as an illustration!
- Commissioner Ross Kendrew preached up a storm, in one of his last preaches before going into reserve,
- And Jurgen Matthesius was thrown in there for good measure!

Why am I telling you this?

Because here they are, in full. Download, listen, and be challenged. Like Elisha, ask for a DOUBLE PORTION! Maybe listen twice, just to let the Word sink in some more. (I’ll update the mini-descriptions, once I’ve listened through them all for a second time!)
